Abstract

This paper is a review and evaluation of the methods of estimating monthly average global solar radiation using bright sunshine hours. It presents model validation and comparison techniques and summarizes comparisons of some of the models using the data of various locations. It tabulates data for about 100 locations, with different climates, which have appeared in the literature and gives the values of the Ångstrom coefficients for 100 locations together with their geographical parameters. It also compares some recent models to obtain information about their global applicability.
